A great idea finally comes to life

I had this idea maybe 5 years ago; I just didn't know how to make it happen. Iomega has launched a wifi NAS... what is it? It's a set of hard-drives that you just hook up to your home network. You put all your photos, music, etc on there, and it's all available to every computer or networked television (Tivo, Windows Media Center) in your house. Not only that, but because there are multiple hard-drives, the data is backed up. Even if one hard-drive fails, you haven't lost the data. You just swap out that one drive and keep going.

It's probably still not sufficiently user-friendly to hit a mass market, and I doubt most people would get the benefits, but someday something like this will be either part of your home stereo setup, or part of your internet setup.

I'm glad it's finally happening.
